alienPDX Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Does anyone have info on the access status for Pole Creek Road (Sisters) right now? Any thoughts on when it usually melts out to the trail head? Thx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letsroll Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 LOL, I put the call in to find out earlier this morn. My source has not been able to get out there lately but I am sure he will post when he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlag Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 gee, i feel so important. Went and checked it out today. Road is impassable the last 3 miles, basically the last turn left to go to the TH. It's shady down there so it's always snow late. But it looks like snow the rest of the way. It was so firm i could of basically drove quite a ways(i went up about 100 feet), but all who know me also know my track record out there.

SmoovBiscuits Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Hiked it for middle sister in February... We would have made it to the TH on firm snow but a mighty sizable tree was down over the road at about the 2.5 mile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wannabe Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 For those that care: The road to the trailhead is open. Patchy snow to Soap Creek, then nearly solid snow from there on. There are so many trees across the trail it almost seems as if it has been abandoned. Thundershowers on Sat evening. Clouds overnight did not let the snow freeze up, so I opted not to trudge up the soft stuff to Middle Sister this morning and bail. Looks like plenty of snow up there for a while yet. No real mosquitoes, but you can sense the beast is about to awaken... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
